IMHO, the defintion of ACS_CKBOARD in PDCurses is too dark; for
consistency with the terminfo entries used with other curses
implementations, it should use the 50% grey character, 0xb1, instead of
0xb2. (In some situations, in a Windows DOS shell, 0xb2 does appear as the
50% checkerboard, with 0xb1 as something lighter; but the standard ROM
definitions place 0xb1 at 50% grey.)
Patch attached. :-)
